From: asami@cs.berkeley.edu (Satoshi Asami) Sender: owner-current@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk * Actually, I have a confession to make. Ahem. This is very difficult. * I have come to (ooph, ack) agree with Paul! I think that the * ${local_startup} trick has potential and it should be the package that * drops its startup glue there. sysinstall should just do a pkg_add on * pcnfsd and expect the right side-effects to happen (likewise with * pkg_delete - you'd want to remove the initialization!). And the X ports have no clue where the heck that tree is. C'mon Jordan, we've been through this before. SysV allergies aside, there are reasons why none of the ideas were implemented. Please don't touch anything in there until we can reach at least a partial agreement. Starting off with a wrong design is worse than starting from nothing, when we finally get the solution. Satoshi
